Early 2013 Projects

These are all projects I did from January to April of 2013, not all I did, but several.

We bought this when we first moved here and I finally lined it with maps a year later. It now has removable shelves in it and we started to paint it yellow. Still very much a WIP.
-----------------
 These next four pictures are the lunch I made for my husbands birthday. His normal lunch would not have the cake and would be about half this size.




-----------------------------------

These shoes are now three sizes too small for Mady and she hasn't seen Blue in months since they stupidly took it off Netflix. She loved these though and hugged them and played with them for a few hours when I first gave them to her. Every time she wore them she was very happy. 

I made some fairy houses for around the yard. They have since been destroyed, I need stronger materials.

My first ever pie. He loved it and I've made many more since.


In April…trying to get my picky eater to try more stuff.

Someone I met once invited me to her baby shower. I didn't go, but I made this taggy monkey. Every part of him is a different texture and the banana crinkles. I wanted to make the heart squeak, but didn't have a spare squeaker handy. 


I had this nut family in a previous post, but not the basket. They were a gift.

Christmas ornaments for each of us. First letter of first names.


Frame I made for my mom. The owl is sculpy rolled on a doily. The frame was plain wood from the dollar section of Michaels. 

An A for our new baby, made at the end of the year. 
My older daughters first Christmas handprint ornament from 2011 in the background. 

I'm a hooker!

OK, so that's not what it sounds like. I learned to crochet off of Youtube videos on Sept 18th 2013 and I've been crocheting up a storm since. I'm not good with patterns, could never learn from books or my grandma, but Youtube got me going. Crochet enthusiasts call themselves hookers.

I've made all kinds of things, hairbands, stuff toys, play food, blankets, hats…I'll gather pictures and post them. My goal when I started was the snowmen that my grandma used to make, so I have a bunch of those made, and I made some pumpkins for the fall.

I have done so many things since I last posted. I have to get pictures and then I can show you. I've made a bunch of conversation hearts, a conversation heart doll, I'm making Mady little wooden conversation heart letters for spelling practice…golly…I've made lots of stuff.

Sorry its been a while, as this is my most read blog, but I'll get some posts up soon. I hope. My last post on here was a year ago…I've done TONS since then. Can't promise everything will get posted, but I'll try!

I have a new baby too, so as she is napping right now and not in my arms like normal, I should be cleaning or something…but I'm not. Whoops.

Stay tuned and I'll put up updates soon.
